"From the same mind that built the field of Graffiti Studies comes a raw, apocalyptic vision born from within the walls of New York City's prison system. Written under the name Dumar Brown while working in various detention facilities, "The World Screaming Nov" is a fever dream of justice and rebellion. It imagines a world where the only ones who can save us from the forces of George W. Bush's America are the inmates of Rikers Island, unleashed in a fight where the trauma of 9/11 repeats daily. This is a story that could only come from a perspective forged on the inside, grounded in the fundamental truth that a prison is just a building; it is the human beings within it who determine whether it will be a space of pure punishment or one of potential growth, echoing the historical conflict between breaking a person down and giving them a chance to rebuild.
"The World Screaming Nov" takes this internal battle and makes it global. It argues that the macho energy of the Bush administration—with its wars for regime change in places like Iraq—is just a larger, more destructive version of the punishment model. This book is a testament to the power of agency against such forces, a story that dismantles the world built by men, revealing a president not as a titan, but as a small shrub in the vast shadow of a greater power. In the end, it is a call for the only regime change that can save us: from the world of the father to the world of the mother."
